Has  anyone done any research on this?




The Avant (sp?) Gardener years ago reported on a study on Long Island  
relating to soil temperatures and transplanting perennials.  The  recommendation was 
more on watching soil temperature than air temperature.   Seems the minimum 
was 30 days of 45 degree soil temperature for good survival on  Long Island.  
As the time period increased survival and prospering  increased.  What 
surprised me was that up to three years later the effects  of planting too close to 
minimal soil temperature could be measured.  Of  course this was with shrubs.
